Payton Sandfort, F, Iowa
Height: 6-8 • Weight: 215 • Class: Senior • Age: 22
Summary: Sandfort is a beautiful shooter off the catch capable of knocking down shots from anywhere. Even though his numbers dipped as a senior at Iowa, he played through a fractured wrist and torn labrums on both of his shoulders! But when he’s healthy, he could provide a spark as a member of the Clippers bench.

Comparisons: Sam Hauser
Strengths
Shooting: Elite spot-up shooter who relocates into open space and hits from deep with quick, confident mechanics. Defenses can’t lose track of him. He’s also capable of hitting side-step jumpers and midrange pull-ups with a smooth release.
Passing: Never plays outside of himself as a good decision-maker with the ball in his hands. But with a growing role each season, he showed he’s more than just a basic decision-maker with his feel for passing to open teammates off of drives.
Effort: Brings consistent intensity on defense and rebounds well for his position.
Concerns
Shot creation: Not a primary creator and can struggle generating clean looks against length.
Advertisement
Defense: He has limitations defending in space and doesn’t change direction too well. He could be hunted in switches at the next level.

NBA fines Jalen Williams $25,000 for wearing clothing with profane language after Game 7 win over Nuggets
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams was hit with a $25,000 fine on Monday over profane language.Williams, however, didn't say anything bad in the wake of the team's Game 7 win over the Denver Nuggets. Instead, the fine was issued for Williams' choice of clothing.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWilliams, after the Thunder's series-clinching 125-93 win, wore a T-shirt with profanity on it when he met with reporters at the Paycom Center. The shirt in question had the phrase, "F**k art, let's dance" written in red letters across the chest.So even though Williams didn't use the profanity — which almost always earns such a fine from the league — it's clear the NBA's front office is considering this as the same type of offense. So, it assessed the fine.The Thunder cruised to the 32-point blowout win without much issue on Sunday, which ended their series […]
Chip Ganassi: Team Penske needs to be held to ‘higher standard to protect the sport’
<!--> On Sunday, during the second day of qualifying for the 109th running of "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing," it was discovered that the cars of Team Penske's Josef Newgarden and Will Power had an illegally modified part.They were disqualified from making a four-lap run, and INDYCAR a day later hammered the team: Newgarden, the two-time defending race winner, was dropped to 32nd in the field and Power was moved to last for this weekend's Indy 500.Chip Ganassi, the CEO of Chip Ganassi Racing, was one of many who complained to INDYCAR inspectors and Penske executives that the cars were illegal on Sunday. The next day, he remained disappointed in the drama that is now overshadowing the biggest race in the world, one that is sold out for the first time since 2016."I think all teams have a certain responsibility […]
Alexis Mac Allister ruled out of Liverpool’s final Premier League game
Arne Slot has ruled Alexis Mac Allister out of Liverpool’s final game of the season.The midfielder was not involved in the 3-2 defeat by Brighton and played his final game of the season against Arsenal last Sunday.Slot referenced the 26-year-old’s “Argentinian mentality”, implying that Mac Allister had been playing through the pain barrier in recent months.“Alexis will not play for us this season anymore,” Slot told reporters during his post-match news conference. “He needs rest at this moment in time to recover completely and to be ready for the start next season, that will be no problem.“I think he played throughout the last part of the season with the Argentinian mentality that he has — never gives up no matter what he feels. But it’s not smart to play a player that has, not a big injury, but something.”It means […]
Eagles extend Nick Sirianni: Where HC ranks among Philly’s all-time greats after four seasons, Super Bowl win
Getty Images PHILADELPHIA -- There was never a doubt the Philadelphia Eagles were going to extend Nick Sirianni, at least after a Super Bowl championship victory. With Sirianni headed into the final year of his contract, the Eagles rewarded their head coach with a multi-year extension that will keep him in Philadelphia for years to come. What Sirianni has accomplished in Philadelphia in just four seasons is unlike anything the NFL has ever seen. Sirianni is the only head coach in the Super Bowl era to make four playoff appearances, reach two Super Bowls and win a Super Bowl title in his first four seasons. He's the only head coach to take the Eagles to two Super Bowl appearances in franchise history and just the second head coach to lead the organization into two NFL championship games. Sirianni sports a 48-20 record after […]
